Mr. Speaker, I want to make it absolutely clear that officials in my department have been informed of the conduct that is expected when anyone appears at our port of entry. They should be treated with respect, with dignity, regardless of their skin colour, the language they speak or the accent they have.
I have requested a preliminary investigation in this matter. I can tell the member opposite that this individual was rightfully referred to the immigration line, but we are further investigating to determine what would be appropriate in this situation.
